DENVER - Xcel Energy is proposing to spend $1.3 billion to convert
coal-fired power plants to natural gas and close a plant to comply with a
new Colorado law aimed at cutting pollution from power plants.
Xcel Energy, Colorado's largest electric utility, said the plan released
Friday will help meet statewide goals of reducing emissions of nitrogen,
carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide and mercury. The company said it will also
save $225 million compared to installing pollution-control equipment.
